Quality of Life (QoL)

For QoL, this tool offers a functionality to read parameters from a config file.

Configuration file

A configuration file needs to be in JSON Format and needs to contain mandatory parameters username, password and domain. A configuration file can be created via script with -c or -config. An example config file could look like this:

{
  "username": "maindomain.de",
  "password": "S00p3rS3cur3_!",
  "domain": "subdomain.maindomain.de"
}

Automation

While this script itself does not support chronic executions, scheduling updates are indeed possible with tools like crontab e.g.

#open cronjobs in editing mode
$ crontab -e  
#add strato-dyndns to list
10 10 * * 1 strato-dyndns -i config.conf -v4 -v6
#this would update your DNS records at 10:10 am every week.
